Here is my final layout for project 1. As many of you voted for my second layout design, I decided to go with it so I added one more typeface for my name and played with the composition of types. Because I wanted to keep my design clean and simple, I created a home icon rather than typing "home".
Hope this could be better than the previous one. All of your feedbacks from the preliminary were really helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
*I made some changes and upload it here as well. More than two projects will be shown I guess so I made "projects" link because there is not enough space to put each link. Also I fixed my body copy. I really appreciate if you can fix my grammar (it's already fixed this time I think) so please don't hesitate to do

Professional and well-balanced. All the elements work well together and there's still plenty of room to add links and other things.

I like the layout in your design. The way you used the space and the header and footer space makes you site look clean. The colors and graphics you used work very well together.

I like what you have done with this, it has a very peaceful feel. But, your body copy needs a little work. The center alignment isn't working well. I think a left or justifies alignment would work better. It also would be better if you spelled out the word 'four' instead of using the numeral, and you need the word 'the' before 'states'. I know you still have a little difficulty with the English language, but I think you are doing just fine with it. I would be making many, many more mistakes if I were to try to learn yours!

Very well organized design , i love how the values pull the black text out from a distance and how well spaced the illustration are from the body paragraph.

The changes you made work very well. Love the home icon idea, it fits well with the graphic style you established with the illustration of you. The colors are bright and fit well with the photograph you have on a sidebar. Everything is very easy to read as well. I wish you had utilized the space better, but since you want minimalism, that's your call. It works well for what you want. Nice job.

Remi, I like the Zen feel of your design and love your East-meets-West sensibility in your narrative. My only recommendation would be to refine your type choice to something even simpler, like a modern sans-serif, and like Denise, I'd advise a flush-left alignment with a careful hand-kerning or optical kerning to make it really beautiful. Your design is so simple, you really want to perfect the typography. Good luck!

I think your design is elegant with a personal touch. The colors are very soothing and I love your graphic. In addition to the suggestion to justify the type, I think it may look a little more inviting if your body copy wasn't all capital letters. All other elements look very good to me. Well done!

I really enjoy the colors that you used in your design, it is very calming and I think that aspect of it turned out really well. I think how you reorganized your imagery and body copy turned out better as well. It provides a more balanced use of space. Overall I really enjoy your design. Great job! The only thing I might consider changing is the all caps body. Capital letters are said to be a little harder to read so consider that when you're make any changes:)

Remi,

I love your final layout! You did a beautiful job portraying who you are, and I love how it has a calming sense to it. Good Job Remi!
